My Life, My Pace

2012, a graphic intensive movie which with good sound system will leave a good dose of after-effect of deep thought in you. After the movie or rather, after most End-of-World themed movies, I would always wonder which date will the End-of-Days fall on. It’ll be really ironic if it falls on 1st of January.

By the way, 2012 has nothing to do with environmental pollution or stuff like that, it is caused by an external factor called the ‘largest solar flare in human history’ which causes a domino effect. First, is the core of the Earth heating up like oven, then caused the slow melting of the Earth’s crust from within, which triggers the crust to be ‘soft’ and hence, collapse.

In layman term, take a cookie (Earth’s crust), place it flat afloat in hot milk  (Earth’s core/mantle layer) which was initially just a warm milk, then you’ll see the cookie crumble =)

I like to observe, literally. Observing always trigger thoughts to circulate in my mind. It intrigues me to observe the behavior and reaction of the people who are within my range of sight.

Every morning, I would leave my condo with my friend when he drops me to work. I would always take notice of the foreign workers who will always be walking alongside of the sidewalk to wherever their destination is. I would look at the traffic policemen, the drivers who are traversing from point A to point B, listen the radio casts who are talking. At the end of all that thinking, I know that all of us are –just people- insignificantly small in the eyes of our world leaders. To them, we’re just like seeds used to sow their fragrant economy.

The only part which I think is real in most 2012-like movies, is the part where if the End-of-Days is here and there’s an –Ark- we wouldn’t be worthy enough to be saved because we’re no one special and as said, insignificant. Those who will be included for salvation are the Top Notch in their fields such as Astrophysicists, Cosmologist, Biochemist and etc etc, and I don’t mean sports.

Foreseeable, are those illiterate group of people will be those running around shouting retarded remarks, creating chaos and reaping whatever that is within their reach. Ignorant who are easily fooled by government composed news will meet their makers too. Sad to say, but if sufficient common sense if applied, you’ll know what I mean.

It’s a sad scenario. However, if you’re non-religious, the most practical way to salvation is to be an Ace in your field and hope the government will include you in whichever self-preservation plan they’ve cooked up. On the other hand, if you’re religious, then all you have to do is believe in your Savior.

To all Xenogears fans.
This my guide to hack Xenogears on PSX PC Emulator ONLY.
First you'll need Cheat Engine: Cheat Engine 5.5

This will spoil the whole point of the game. However, to those who've completed this game countless times and just want to have some fun without the hassle of earning G in Xenogears, like me =). Then this cheat is catered for you.

1.0) First save the game using the memory cube (NOTE: saving using gamestate could corrupt the game)
1.1) Go to the nearest shop in the game and don't do anything.

2.0) Start Cheat Engine and search for the PSX Emulator process (e.g. I'm using ePSXe, so search for ePSXe.exe).




2.1) Press the 'Square' button to check how much G you have currently.
2.2) Pull up Cheat Engine, then enter the amount into the 'Value' box.
2.3) Change 'Value Type' to 'All (Byte to Double)'.
2.4) Tick 'Also scan read-only memory'.
2.5) Then click 'First Scan'.




3.0) You'll get lots of addresses at the left side panel.




3.1) Now, return to game, talk to the shopkeeper and buy something to change the current G value you have.
3.2) Return to Cheat Engine, enter the new G value into the 'Value' textbox.
3.3) Then click on 'Next Scan'.




4.0) You'll then see 3 obvious addresses of the amount of G you have.
4.1) Double-click on the 3 address to move them to the panel below.
4.2) Then mouse your mouse on the 'value' section of the address below, double-click it.
4.3) Enter a few 9's in the textbox to raise the value, click 'OK'.
4.4) Now return to the game, press 'Square' again to open the character windows. Your amount of G will then change to the new value.




- Don't close Cheat Engine, just minimize it. When your G is low, just repeat steps 4.2 to 4.4.

Hope you've found my guide useful. Although this is not as good as Gameshark for Emulator but at least it still gives you enough G to buy stuff and replenish it =) Cheers!!

I’ve come to a point where I think it is best for me to leave certain aspects of my life to just follow the flow of nature and let it take it’s own course.

I’m tired of having to teach certain person about attitude and behavior. It is without a doubt that making effort to teach something to a person who doesn’t want to listen or learn is indeed futile. Additionally, I’ll eventually stress myself because I would normally keep trying if I’m being opposed to.

However, I cannot deny the fact that it is useless trying any further because I know and it is obvious that the person I used to be happy with has changed and will not turn back...

Like the old saying goes “What is meant to be, will be”. I shall not debate or argue any further.

I recalled when I was moving out with my friend and we had to search for a property with reasonable price at the same time we wanted to know what’s in for that property, such as facilities, sq. feet, strategic review and people’s opinion.

Most of the time, we would just get the price and a contact number. Which is very limited indeed and as such, we had to allocate a time to travel and search for that place just to have a look at the location, facilities, specs and the type of people who lives there. It is without a doubt a hassle for us as both of us are full-time office workers *ahem, profe-cough-sion-cough-nal* ;-)

I do remember going to websites such as iProperty. Well, it does provide me with certain information and not to say that they aren’t good but I find it not-so-detailed. Example, say I do a search for Dua Residency @ KLCC on this property website. All they provide is, a picture, a brief 1 to 2 paragraph description, short property details and a map *wow, that’s helpful @@*. Honestly… looking at the way they display the description below is more than enough reason for me to redirect myself away from it *so messy*.

However, I’ve came to know about this Malaysia property website called PropWall. The first thing I took notice when I entered the website, is the layout. It is simple, organized and most importantly not confusing @@. The links are well categorized as well which they designed it to be tab-style.

When I search for the same property, Dua Residency @ KLCC, PropWall provides the details to a greater extent, and I do mean greater! As such, PropWall gives me the impression that it ensures the users who visits the website will be well informed of the property which they are searching for.

For the same property which I’ve searched on iProperty, in PropWall, I get a four paragraph description, property details, size in sq. feet for all the type of layouts they have, facilities, a detailed 10 paragraph analysis on how strategic the location is, a classified section and a map. I don’t even need to call the agent ==” or even think of travelling there.

Have a look at Dua Residency @ PropWall for yourself.

If you’re looking for properties and you want a descriptive detail of the property, I suggest you first and foremost head to PropWall instead of wasting your time Google-ing away.
